CANTON, Mass. --(Business Wire)-- Voltree Power (www.voltreepower.com) today announced that its "Javelin" product family has won the coveted 2009 "Best of What's New" award from Popular Science magazine in the Green Tech category. Javelin was chosen from among thousands of entrants.
Voltree Power's Javelin products enable the collection and transmission of sensor data from hard-to-reach areas.

This is the first ever system capable of collecting microclimate data from under the canopy of forested land and transmitting it via the existent Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) network. The data collected will be used to model the behavior of forest fires and help in strategically pre-deploying firefighting resources. Voltree's Javelin technology integrates seamlessly with existent government-owned Remote Automated Weather Stations, extending their usefulness.
